Business Water Solutions Committed To SMEs.
From cost-effective plans to sustainable strategies, we are committed to meeting the unique water needs of SMEs. Explore innovative business water solutions that prioritise your needs and assist you in streamlining your water efficiency.
Reduce My Costs is partnered with major water suppliers in the UK, so that you get favourable terms for your business water solutions. We aim to help SMEs with water efficiency, through solutions such as the integration of smart meters to monitor and manage consumption effectively. We understand the unique needs of SMEs, offering comprehensive business water solutions that not only prioritise cost savings but also contribute to sustainable water management.
In 2017, over 1.2 million business customers were given the opportunity for the first time to choose their water supplier. However, many SMEs are still unaware of this and are simply renewing contracts that were agreed to before the market was deregulated. We want to help you procure competitive prices for your business and ensure that you are only paying for what you have used.

The Deregulation of the Water Industry
The deregulation of the UK water industry in 2017 marked a significant shift in the country’s approach to water services. Prior to this, regional water monopolies controlled supply and distribution. The deregulation introduced competition, allowing businesses to choose their water supplier for the first time. As a result, businesses gained the flexibility to negotiate better deals, potentially reducing their water expenses, and enhance efficiency. Our services aim to help you find the most suitable package for your business needs, with your bottom-line in mind.

Water Efficiency and Smart Water Meters
Utilising water efficiency is a simple way to cut down on costs and reduce overconsumption and waste. Our team can assist with the installation of water smart meters which can successfully monitor and track consumption to provide a more accurate reading so that you only pay for your actual usage. They also have smart technology which helps to prevent and rapidly rectify any leaks; overall focusing on water efficiency is a sure-start way to reduce waste and can assist in reducing overall expenditure.
Water FAQs
What is commercial water deregulation and how does it affect my business?
In 2017, the commercial water market was deregulated, meaning that businesses are now able to choose their water supplier. Reduce My Costs can help you choose a new water retailer, renegotiate a price with your current retailer, and aid you in choosing a new package based on your business’s needs.
Can I switch my water supplier at home?
No, domestic customers in the UK can’t switch water suppliers – unlike businesses, the water market isn’t open to households. Your supplier is based on where you live.
Are there any ways for me to reduce my domestic water bills?
Simple changes like fixing leaks, installing water-saving devices, and using appliances efficiently can significantly lower your bill. Some water companies also offer free conservation kits and support for households looking to cut usage.
Can I get help if I think my business is being overcharged for water?
Yes. We can carry out a bill validation service to check for errors, incorrect tariffs, or overestimated usage. If we spot any discrepancies, we’ll help you claim back overpayments and ensure you’re charged correctly moving forward.
How can switching water suppliers help save money?
By comparing tariffs and services across the open market, you can often find more competitive rates than your current supplier offers. Many businesses also benefit from consolidated billing, improved customer service, and efficiency audits to reduce usage and costs.
What is a water audit and do I need one?
A water audit reviews your business’s water usage, billing accuracy, and potential inefficiencies. It can identify leaks, overcharges, and areas where you could save—making it a smart first step for cost control and sustainability.
